How it works

Open your chats in seconds

Three steps from your phone to a clean, searchable workspace on your computer.

1

Export from WhatsApp

Open any chat, tap the menu, select More → Export chat, choose Include media, and save the ZIP file to your computer.

2

Open in ChatXport

Drop the ZIP into ChatXport. Select your name so your messages appear on the right — just like your phone.

3

Search, filter & export

Browse messages, filter by sender or date, bookmark what matters, and export to PDF or XLS in one click.

The problem

WhatsApp exports were never meant to be read

Thousands of messages, unnamed media files, no search. Here is how most people deal with it — and why ChatXport exists.

Three ways to view your chats

Switch between views depending on what you need.

Conversation View

The familiar WhatsApp-style chat interface. Your messages on the right, others on the left.

Table View

Spreadsheet-style view with sortable columns. Perfect for analysing patterns or preparing data for export.

Timeline View

Chronological feed grouped by date. Great for reviewing conversations over time or finding messages from specific days.

Real chats, real moments

ChatXport helps you revisit, search, and preserve exported chats — whether sentimental, transactional, or everything in between.

  • All photos and voice notes inline with the messages
  • Search any name, date, or word in seconds
  • Bookmark the moments worth keeping
  • Save it all as a PDF that won't disappear

  • Photos and voice notes appear inline where they were sent
  • Bookmark favourite messages to revisit later
  • Export the whole chat to PDF as a keepsake

Why offline matters

Your chats never leave your computer

Online WhatsApp viewers ask you to upload private conversations to their servers — your messages, photos, and files on someone else's computer. ChatXport is different.

ChatXport

  • Runs 100% on your device
  • No uploads, ever
  • Works without internet
  • No account or login needed

Online Tools

  • Require file upload
  • Your data on their servers
  • Unknown data retention
  • Always requires internet

Frequently asked questions

Does ChatXport upload my chats anywhere?

No. ChatXport runs entirely on your device. Your chat files are never uploaded, transmitted, or shared with anyone. All processing happens locally — it even works in airplane mode once loaded.

What chat formats are supported?

WhatsApp ZIP exports from both Android and iOS, including attached media files. Telegram and Signal support are on the roadmap.

Is this a subscription?

No. Personal ($29) and Pro ($69) are one-time payments. Your license never expires. Optional priority support renewal is $20/year after the first year, but the software works fully without it.

How does the license key work?

Purchase on Gumroad or the Microsoft Store and receive your key instantly. Enter it in ChatXport. Verification happens offline via SHA-256 — no internet required to activate.

Can I use it on multiple computers?

Yes. Up to 3 machines per license. Offline verification means there is no activation server — just re-enter your key on each device.

Is there a Mac version?

Not yet. Windows 10 and 11 only, via the Microsoft Store or direct download. macOS is planned for a future release.

What is your refund policy?

14-day full refund on all paid plans. Contact hello@chatxport.com and we process it immediately, no questions asked.

Is ChatXport affiliated with WhatsApp or Meta?

No. ChatXport is an independent product built by The Baobab Collective Ltd. and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to WhatsApp LLC or Meta Platforms, Inc. It reads files exported by users via WhatsApp's official Export Chat feature and does not connect to WhatsApp's servers.
